Germany, Germany first and foremost,
First and foremost in the world,
If always to defend and defy
It holds together brotherly,
From the Meuse up to the Memel,
From the Adige up to the Belt -
Germany, Germany first and foremost
First and foremost in the world.

German women, German faithfulness,
German wine and German song
Shall keep in this world
Their beautiful, old sound,
Inspire us to noble deeds
For the rest of our lives.
German women, German faithfulness,
German wine and German song.

Unity and right and freedom
For the German Fatherland!
This is what we all must strive for
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and right and freedom
Are what happiness is founded upon
Flourish in the splendor of that happiness,
Flourish, German Fatherland.
